This commemorative set of nine stamps was issued by Panama to celebrate the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco. The designs feature various scenes related to the newly opened Panama Canal and the exposition itself, including the Administration Building, the Canal's entrance at Balboa, and a map of the Canal Zone. The set was printed by the American Bank Note Company in New York.

The Panama-Pacific Exposition celebrated the completion of the Panama Canal in 1914, a monumental engineering achievement that connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and reshaped global trade routes.
